The adoption center is located at 250 Florida Street in San Francisco, and is open Wednesday – Friday from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Dogs and cats are available for adoption. Current programs and services In January, 2009, the San Francisco SPCA opened The Leanne B. Roberts Animal Care Center, which now houses The SFSPCA's veterinary services. It includes their nonprofit, full-service Veterinary Hospital, Spay/Neuter Clinic, Feral Fix Program and Shelter Medicine Program and Foster Care Program. The San Francisco SPCA also partners with UniversalGiving, an online nonprofit organization to gather volunteers to help out in programs. The Leanne Roberts Center is being funded entirely by private donors. The hospital is located at 201 Alabama Street in San Francisco, and offers free client parking. The hospital is open 7 days a week from 8 am to 6 pm, offering full service appointments and emergency services. Controversies The SF SPCA has been involved in several controversial issues. Some critics argue that the Society's "trap-neuter-release" approach to feral cat management can cause damage to bird life. Others oppose the organization's support for off-leash recreation for dogs in federal park lands in the San Francisco Bay Area, arguing that they disturb wildlife and are unsafe for children.
